Above the Clouds by Craig Haller

I could take you anywhere
Maybe New York, we'd visit Times Square
Your face is painted on a TV screen
Something I could get used to

No more lollipop dreams
Goodbye my sugar-kissed amphetamine
The after taste is lingering like smoke
Wondering where hope is

Out on the town, could you show me around?
Could you take me where there is music and silence?
Imagine all of the things we could say
I'll be what you need
If you'll be there for me

Don't you know I know you see straight through me?
You're not late, you're just flat out of time
I kinda wish that I could live forever
With you being attracted to me

We got it going on
I gotta go

I watched you dance the night away
You can't hear what I can't say
Panic never tasted sweet
Meeting eyes deletes the feet

No, it won't break
You're better off, just leave it alone
Make a mistake
You're better off just letting it show

You should get out of town
If you don't think
That I don't think the world of you
Shut up, you're beautiful

You look so lonely in that dress
With alcohol and cigarettes
Lipstick stains the glass you drink
Salty lips in shades of pink

No, it won't break
You're better off, just leave it alone
Make a mistake
You're better off just letting it show

You should get out of town
If you don't think
That I don't think the world of you
Shut up, you're beautiful

A broken record that always says too much
A tired poet down on his luck
Spinning round, spinning round
Spinning round 'til you hit the ground again

Misunderstanding's a cold, hard word to say
It's black and white in a world of grey
A beggar begs with shame that can't be seen
He's kinda like me - he's kinda like me
The walls are closing in

A broken record that lost all of its groove
You try to dance but there's no one to turn to
Your favorite song on the radio
You used to love it until it turned to gold

In the sun, you worry about tomorrow
When you're done with never-ending sorrow
When the music's over, get back in your place
It's such a waste that you look forward to
Happiness tomorrow

A broken record that always says too much
A tired poet down on his luck
Spinning round, spinning round
Spinning round 'til you hit the ground again

Misunderstanding's a cold, hard word to say
It's black and white in a world of grey
A beggar begs with shame that can't be seen
He's kinda like me - he's kinda like me

In the sun, you worry about tomorrow
When you're done with never-ending sorrow
When the music's over, get back in your place
It's such a waste that you look forward to
Happiness tomorrow

We'll be happy tomorrow

You beat like a whisk
And wonder where hope is
Ask the question
And you'll have your wish

She looked up with a tear in her eye
And she said, "baby, I love you"
I looked down and I started to sing
"Baby, I love you, too"

She's more than a girl
She's also my world
Because my head's above the clouds
Afraid of the dark
Afraid of her name
When fear becomes my morning light

Too distant for sound
Far from a watchful eye
Don't hamper denial
Believe in the antidote

She looked up with a tear in her eye
And she said, "baby, I love you"
I looked down and I started to sing
"Baby, I love you, too"

She's more than a girl
She's also my world
Because my head's above the clouds
Afraid of the dark
Afraid of her name
When fear becomes my morning light

Go away, I can't stay
It is time to say goodbye
Then she said with a smile
"You'll be with me 'til you die"
She's so cruel

She's more than a girl
She's also my world
Because my head's above the clouds
Afraid of the dark
Afraid of her name
When fear becomes my morning light

With the right pair of eyes
Everything is justified
Wildflowers in bloom
There's an ocean in the room
And it's tearing me from you

It's true that the truth is a lie
Depending who asks why
Wildfire in bloom
Cold honey from a spoon
It's like watching a cartoon starring you

A dream undermines a wish
When all our opinions try to mix
When you shine your light at me
I'll shine right back at you

Share your heart without wonder
Under oceans full of stars
Say the words that divide
Dripping honey from the sky
And crying honey when you cry on me

A dream undermines a wish
When all our opinions try to mix
When you shine your light at me
I'll shine right back at you

Night begins and angels sing
Everything is full of life
Dancing bears and rocking chairs
Dance away the night
Now everything is full of life

The perfect stare to share a kiss
The city's full of light
A dancing street beneath your feet
A beautiful delight
Now everything is full of life

It's good to be in Paris in the summertime
'Cause we got secret identities
And that's all we need

The triumph rings and angels sing
Everything is full of life
Singing birds and dancing bees
Sing in the middle of flight
Now everything is full of life

It's good to be in Paris in the summertime
'Cause we got secret identities
And that's all we need

I'll hold your hand through Notre-Dame
And kiss you on the Eiffel Tower
I'll walk with you down Champs-Élysées
And cherish every hour
What more could I say?

Night begins and angels sing
Everything is full of life

Now everything is full of life

I'll hold your hand through Notre-Dame
And kiss you on the Eiffel Tower
I'll walk with you down Champs-Élysées
And cherish every hour
What more could I say?

Hello, it's been about a week or two
I don't know how to be me without you
Has it really been so long?

All my friends disappear
Dwindling year by year
But I thought that you'd still be here

Hey girl, you put a smile on my face
Now I know our time was just a waste
Have you ever been sorry?

A quiet streak of jealousy
Oh, my, my, it's nice to see you smile
But I'll be damaged for a while

If ever you're in need
If ever you're in need
Just fall asleep and make believe
That dreams aren't just for dreamers
That we were meant to be

Hello, it's been about a week or two
Now I think I hate you
Have you ever been lied to?

I've tried time and time again
To get you back, or just be friends
Now I hope that I never see you again

If ever you're in need
If ever you're in need
Just fall asleep and make believe
That dreams aren't just for dreamers
That we were meant to be

The night is over and so are we
But I'd move a million mountains just to see you
The harsh reality sinks in
Now I miss you, so, but I'll just start over again

If ever you're in need
If ever you're in need
Just fall asleep and make believe
That dreams aren't just for dreamers
That we were meant to be

If ever you're in need
If ever you're in need
Just picture me with somebody
Who loves me like I loved you
We just weren't meant to be

Pick me up now
On out of this hole
I can't seem to see the other side
Take me to a place
Where there's no one left to blame
It's just me that's trying to hide

I don't know
Where the loneliness goes
When I have you in my arms
You take my breath away
That's all that I can say
I just need you here right now

There's a sun that never dies
A sky that never cries
But now the sun don't shine anymore
I'm sick of being a whore
My Mississippi Queen
The devil's in my dreams

Wake me up
Get me out of this dream
'Cause life's a constant waterfall
Never really thought
That life could be this hard
But thanks to you I'm not alone

Come with me now
Let's get out of here
We'll drive to San Francisco Bay
We'll take a trip or two
Baby, I'll be next to you
And we'll return again
Return again someday

We will be free
Baby, you and me
I'll take care of you
No matter how hard life can be

There's a sun that never dies
A sky that never cries
But now the sun don't shine anymore
I'm sick of being a whore
My Mississippi Queen
The devil's in my head

Oh no, not again...

There's a sun that never dies
A sky that never cries
I don't have to be alone anymore
That's what love is for
My Mississippi Queen
You're always in my dreams

She was a girl
In an understanding world

She was juxtaposed to herself
To her self that no one knows

She began to see
That her beauty gave her everything

She took advantage
Tried to manage living without pride
She was flashy - fine and dashing
But she was dead inside

Sick of being tired
Tired of being overrated
Through with being blue
Miss Fortune has her deadly eyes on you

Her face was adored
Though she's mentally ignored

She tried to persuade
For the first time, she didn't get her way

She felt lucky
Being stuck behind the masquerade
She was flashy - fine and dashing
But living a charade

Sick of being tired
Tired of being overrated
Through with being blue
Miss Fortune has her deadly eyes on you

Inside she's so afraid
But she makes believe that it's okay
Abandoning her hope
'Cause today's the day
That she outlives her beauty

Her beauty's gone - now what's left behind?
Poor Miss Fortune
I'm sorry that they took away the pain
Of being you

She's dead inside - but she's still alive
She pushes and pushes
But now she's all alone

Maybe it's the way she blinks
Maybe it's 'cause she won't sing to me
It might be the way she talks
Could be the way she looks at me

She lights up when it snows
She picks me up when I'm feeling low
I read to her until she sleeps
She smiles at me when I touch her cheek

Sweet like candyfloss
Refreshing just like applesauce in the sauce
Close your eyes and make a wish
Close your eyes 'cause I'm gonna kiss you now

I lost myself
'Cause I'm lost for words
Maybe I'm scared of going there
'Cause Steph's so hot

Steph's so hot
Let's take a midnight walk
A silhouette glowing in the dark

I lost myself
'Cause I'm lost for words
Now I'm not scared of going there
'Cause Steph's so hot

The fortune inside
Look deep inside the wake

You damage yourself
I'll damage your mind
Listening to that picture in mind

I'll be there tonight
To relieve you of yourself
I doubt

I stare a lot at you
You stare a lot at me
It's just a breeding ground

Time stands still
It slowly ticks away
It was such a thrill
But I knew I couldn't stay
Was it the best or was I just confused?
I chained myself up to a wall

You said I wouldn't make it
But now I know I'll be fine
But I gotta get it out of my mind
'Cause it's over now

Time flies by
I wonder where I was
A photograph
Painted in my mind
Memories always take me back
I don't know if it was good or bad

You said I wouldn't make it
But now I know I'll be fine
But I gotta get it out of my mind
'Cause it's over now
